TkInter -> Tcl -> Tk -> Xlib
Is the Tcl intepreter really need to use this GUI? Why not:
(Pyton ->) Tkinter-API -> Xlib ?
Even if this was possible (which it is not)
Why is it not possible? It seems to have been done for other
languages.

Yes indeed, however gp forgot another step:
tkinter > tcl > tk > xlib/xcb > x server
There are already some more or less usable (though they look abandoned)
experiments that do this:
https://launchpad.net/twisted-x11
http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/
However I don't think that x11 represents that majority (just a gut
feeling I have no data to back this claim up) of gui users, so an equal
solution should be found for windows and macs.
I do think it is technically possible to have your own window manager in
python on x11 but I have no idea if you have equal possibilities on mac
and windows (for example to define your own window decoration).
Though considering tk does just that I would guess this to be the case.
